Really bad grouping of countries because in some regions that a whole continent at times there was like a handful of countries.

What a ridiculous chart.. some countries are grouped together instead of stand alone ?!!!

Middle East 73 % yes? You would die for your country, yet it seems to be so bad that everyone and their grandmother wants to move to western europe? Highly doubt it

Depends how intense the war, how it starts and what happens. Countries with volunteer forces in an expeditionary war wouldn’t face the issue. In an existential war of defence, conscription negates choice anyway.

Eastern Europe has been consistently at war with someone

I think that this confirms that without US backing NATO is doomed. Putin knows this. He can pick off one NATO country after another knowing that public opinion in the other member countries will not support sending troops to the aid of the country that was attacked. Especially if it meant raising taxes or cutting social spending. He attacks Estonia? How long would a French or German government last if it sent troops? Would French public opinion even support sending troops to help defend Germany? Would the desire not to fight help Marine Le Pen win the presidency on a platform of appeasing Russia? I think Europe’s days of freedom from Russian domination are numbered.

The UK are weird island people, why put them over the rest of Europe?

LOL.. Good old Russian indifference. As old as the civilization itself.
Though I think a lot of the 48% who „don’t know“ are actually „not now, but I’m afraid of who might hear me.“

Ah yes, the country of Africa

someone doesn’t know their geography when they put Southeast Asia as West Asia lmao. Also this goes from region to country which is weird.

How much of this simply reflects that people in wealthy, educated, functional democracies where free speech exists are more likely to a) question whether a war „involving“ your country was morally justified, and b) more willing to be honest in answering?
A much better question would be, „if your country was unjustly invaded, would you risk your life to fight for your country?“.
I expect the honest answers would be different. I wouldn’t be surprised to see people in rich peaceful countries being less willing to put their lives on the line, but I don’t think the difference would be as stark as reflected here.

My woman asked me that when she learned that I’d be drafted if Ukrainian. My response: where would I go if not fighting? Of course I would fight.

I’m in the US, which is a mess. I’d die for our constitution, but not for the current administration that does not represent what my grandfather, father, brother and son fought to protect.

Hmmm. Seems that places that have been invaded in the past 100 years have a high rate, all the places that were more recently invaders say not so much.
Seems accurate.

Russia has nearly 50% don’t know.
Wonder why…
If your country was attacked overnight for no reason, I think the loss of life would change these figures so it’s all irrelevant.
Depends.
Are we being invaded or being attacked? Yes.
Are we invading or attacking someone else? No.
Depends on the conflict
So… Don’t mess with India I guess
Is South East Asia labelled as West Asia?
77% of China and India is huge
